Department News Feeds
Overview
Department News Feeds allow departments to publish news stories, blog posts, announcements, and updates directly within their website.
Once configured by the Web Services team, editors can create individual news articles using a dedicated news template. Published stories automatically appear on the department's news listing page and can also be displayed throughout the site using news feed components.
